"M" FFVII Ahead on Our Way

[colin30152]

major seventh chord on the end was awesome!!!! yoku dekimashita!!!

[150Link]

LonlonJP-sama you can be very proud!

Honestly, did you ever think that you'd be popular?

spend a beautiful day =D

[ApsisApocynthion]

Such a sweet, sweet melody. Good arrangement too.

[SalSayWut]

I've been watching your FFVII acoustic covers for a few weeks now, and Just yesterday I heard this arrangement. I must say, I've never heard such a magnificent cover. I've been playing guitar for about a month and a half, and ultimate goal is to be able to play this. God bless you for the inspiration.

[lonlonjp]

@SalSayWut

Thanks for your posting a nice comment on this video =D

This is one of the most favorite guitar arrangements of all my videos :) 

[Mushamashi987654]

@lonlonjp same, can you make a zip file with all your tabs in it? that would be oh so very generous of you! :D

[mawsterin]

@SalSayWut

you have to practise hard so many years xD

[ThisIsNotVincent]

Very nice arrangement! You should listen to a cover by Bulb here on youtube although it might not be your taste (it's on electric guitar) but nonetheless it's wonderful.

[JPfingerskater]

haha i know this on the ukulele but it sounds so much better on guitar.

[chierii]

i really love it!

thank you for playing! ...lonlonjp version?

[jaureguii]

Excelente my friend!

[sheabo58]

i would love to listen to this while just laying down on a field looking up at the clouds on a beautiful day XD very nice and calm i love this song

[snoutszer]

i'm in Kalm town now.

[LoveHata]

Nice camera

[thedragoonknight]

^_^ This is now my phones ringtone hahaha

[mcmorrow88]

how long does it take you to arrange these pieces? for the easy to medium pieces? thank u! :D

[bumnutz09]

When you go to help the Japanese people, i really hope you are taking your guitar with you! Such beautiful music can help ease pain instantly.

Keep doing what you are doing man!

[schattnflamme]

complete speakless..... wow!

[hatewheel]

Outstanding.



[kinselator1]

私は、あなたの音楽を愛するだけなので、私はそれが正しい判明願­って翻訳、Googleでこれを書いてイム...私はあなたが地­震でいいと思っている希望とだけ私はあなたには、少なくとも生き­ている知っているので、今日はアップロードされたほかに何かあそ­こが知っている神。アップ加入者を維持し、曲- kinselator1お使いのバージョンを学ぼうとしている



[anime94kara]

WOW!!! o.o you're amazing.

[Hurtlezz233]

what brand of string did you use ? :D

[ShredManFretShredder]

man i could listen to these all night. beautiful arrangements dude! so much nostalgia in the notes. keep it up! :)

[tubsesss]

Never expected to see a good version of this song on guitar ... but whoa dude!

[nanaki1997]

This was amazing. Could you send me tabs please?

[whocareslol9]

You have an unnatural talent

[yeaosh]

Beautiful.

[minhcloud]

this is .... perfect! it's even better than the original

[HalcyonGuitar]

Wow, I'm always impressed by each arrangement you create, very smoothly played! My only gripe is that I wished these arrangements could be recorded in studio quality, youtube videos just don't do it enough justice!

But then again, my complaint has nothing to do with your guitar playing, once more, well done!

And find a way to get high quality recording equipment if you can!

=D

[Blindheadshot44]

what kind of guitar is tht its nice

[Ry4nH4m1ll]

[RomerNakata]

[yunchan1]

Where did you find the guitar tab for this song ????

[lonlonjp]

i arranged it in my mind... by myself ^o^

[loofonme]

@lonlonjp completely for the win

[MrBlukron1k]

@lonlonjp Hey mr Lon Lon good day to you sir, i've been learning these songs by watching you play but i still dont know anything about musical notation and i was wondering what you would recommend or what would be the best way to learn Thanks man

[JoeCaliforniah]

it looks like hes trying too hard..

[Blackbeast123]

2 years and one day old. This video is just epic...

Amazing melody.

[A1i1988]

I like it a lot =D

[DeLeonAlexander]

your the best

[phillipnox123]

Simply Beautiful. This has to be my favorite FFVII song, next to Tifa's Theme. Keep up the awesome playing.

[noutathewolf]

Totally linking this to my friend Dx This is our song, and you play it soo... beautifully. I love it!

[Extasie31]

Ok then i see that you didnt play games in your childhood, take it easy, it's not classical music, it just music of game that remind me Nintendo games..

[lmweed20]

id dont think its cos he didnt play games is probably cos final fantasy 7 is for the ps1 and not nintendo. maybe they rereleased it on nintendo or its in a nintensdo game with a ff char in it, i dunno, not gonna look it up coz its a waste of time, not that typing this wasnt :) but ya know

[Progressence]

Music is Music. Regard;ess of where it originates.

I dont see this as game music, although it was created for FF7.

If nobou uematsu produced Music.. Oh wait he does... Hmm..

So that must mean this is MUSIC! :D

This music is good to hear, especially if you connect with it..

For people that love these pieces, I speak on the behalf of all of them. Including myself.

[DaPunkedReble]

@Progressence Agreed

[Extasie31]

so nintendo !

[yalerd1]

this song has nothing to do with nintendo

[Lutherro]

google won't bite u...I found tabs on the net...

[kirbster]

Beautiful arrangement as always... I like your personal touch that you added at the end.

This is one of my favorite FF songs, I can't believe I wasn't aware of this video until now... I actually uploaded my version thinking there were too few good guitar covers of it. How wrong I was!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to my arrangement =D

i always add some measures in order to stop never-ending-game-songs.

i will watch your guitar video soon!

[Fivelemental]

You're my hero!!

[joejoee50]

Best Best Best Cover TvT

...Why I can't play like you at 0.12

How do you slide for that sourd ToT

Thanksaaa lot

[delenthqc]

Thanks for the Video lonlonjp :)

[nexiumx]

simply amazing. my new goal in life is to learn to play all your FF arrangements :D

[delmago1]

a masterpiece!!!!!!!

[XclxX111]

wow this is alsome..... -_- to bad i never beat the damn GAME!!!! lol got to sephiroth at around lvl 60 and got own after i beat the final Jenova form -_- Sephy killed all my characters in one hit -_-

[delmago1]

hp+

[FullLionMoon]

Brings back memories of finally leaving Midgar... (Well, kind of. I just got finished playing through the game again a couple days ago. :-P)

[delmago1]

respect

[katanasoft]

Man, you're really, really incredible ...

I'm very envious of you, believe me, that's fantastic to know how to play so good all this songs ...

[Mathcorey]

Your covers are the best. Kind of gets me a little emotional, since I want to play the game again :/. Sadly, I can't.

[SirSmokeal0t]

Lonlon 4 life.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^^

[AtomicFall]

This is one of my favorite songs from FFVII. <3 The entire soundtrack is great but there's always those 1 or 2 songs that it seems you'll remember forever, and this has always been one of them for me. :D It's so soothing and peaceful...I think I'd like to hum it to my kids, when I have some one day. Haha, imagine their reaction when they'll learn it's from a video game..How goofy, but it's a game that stays close to your heart. <3

Anyway...You play beautifully. Don't ever stop. :3

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your nice comment ^^

i really enjoyed reading it =)

[Shiruban]

Magnificient. Yous should try to contact Uematsu, just to give him a link of your videos, I think he would enjoy it.

I really think you are truly optimistic when you say this is a " Medium " song XP

[Hokkaido656]

I just recently started trying to learn this song, it's hard enough playing the lead guitar! and you're playing both rhythm and lead!

[prutsikas]

no words can describe what i feel whenever i see you play...

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your posting a nice comment =D

[ConditionedResponse]

Thanks lonlonjp for doing so many great classic video games song. I love your work, glad to hear music from your heart. Cheers!

ヾ(＠⌒▽⌒＠)ﾉﾜｰｲ!

[lonlonjp]

Cheers* \(^o^)/

[itachi4492]

Wow... you're a one-man band... sugoi!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching ^-^

[oilut]

OMG!! Man, you're awesome. All the notes, without losing the timing and with just one instrument. That's sick...Congratulations!!!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your comment =)

[Joanma]

Incredible, i listen all your songs of Final Fantasy and I love all them. You are really talented. !!!

[lonlonjp]

cheers*

[adan197]

How do you describe this song besides "beautiful"?

sad? melancholic? It's so weird.. invokes so many indescribable feelings.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your nice comment ^0^

[Gerwyn69]

This is beautiful. I like how you play the whole thing at once, whereas most people could only play one melody at a time. Brilliant :)

[vincentx900]

lol i love it, so hmm how do i learn how to play this=p

[reepler]

may i request "Sandy Badlands" from Final Fantasy VII? Its a sad, but beautiful song. could you arrange that song, lon?

I suggest you, to put capo on the 1st fret.

btw do you ever make (compose) a song?

You should make some classic/acoustic song.

Thanks

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening and your suggestion ^-^

i composed some songs... especially when i was a teenager. Please check out "Requem for Esu" on my channel. it's within my "videos" last page.

[murphy341]

such a relaxing song, always will remind me of Kalm! you played it brilliantly

[MrFinklestein]

I loooooove this arrangement. Kudos!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^-^

[sexyctx]

I really enjoy your videos, you are very talented .

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your watching this video ^-^

[nanoux]

You are truly inspiring , i love how you arrange final fantasy songs, you are my new hero.

[lonlonjp]

i am proud of your comment =D

[emanoeds]

Man this song is so beautiful.... Im trying to make a arrange to this, but im not that good.... congrats and keep going....hugs from Brazil, and sorry about the bad english

[lonlonjp]

Not at all. You are always welcome here ^-^

i really appreciate your nice comment =)

[Nathanielguy]

凄いですね...

今からどんな曲のアレンジに手を出そうと思ってらっしゃいますか­？

[lonlonjp]

Natさん　ご声援ありがとうございます☆

日本語が相当堪能な米国の方のようですね。

Thanks watching this video and your encouragement ^-^

i have just watched your Harajyuku and Mt Fuji videos. It's so funny xD. Currently, i am arrangeing a video game song upon request from many friends on YouTube. There have been too many requests to select one song... lol Besides, there are some requests to retake my older videos.

Please keep in touch!

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

=]

thanks again lon, this cheered me up a whole bunch =]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video and your nice comment, my friend ^-^

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

=], anytime Lon, how are you these days=]

best regards from ash

[Blackbeast123]

This melody is strange. It feels that the meoldy is me in a music way.. I really like it in way i dont like other songs..

It feels that this song was written for me.. lol.

[lonlonjp]

haha.. xD That's weird.

If you feel that way, it's your way indeed.

i think you have a sharp and fine music sense... lol

[Blackbeast123]

Its very wierd.. But i like it :>

Thx for your nice comment. Not everyday you see someone as nice as you on youtube^^

[BaldursGate1616]

oh damnit...I really badly wanna play FFVII now. But I dont have the game anymore. :(

[lonlonjp]

haha... xD

you can buy it again... may be this time, it should be reasonably priced ^-^

[saugaraguas]

Thank you

[KirAyagami1988]

no no, can you upload the tab for Ahead on our way, too? sorry for my bad english :(

I'm working on Tifa's theme now :D

[reepler]

you need to be more creative, tabreader! Lonlon did this by himself (without tab).

You need to learn to arrange by yourself

And stop to request tabs from him

[KirAyagami1988]

this is my favourite FFVII song beside Tifa's theme & the battle themes, I don't know you can play it on guitar :O, can I have the tab? :">

[lonlonjp]

i have already uploaded both Tifa's Theme and Those who fight, namely battle theme of FFVII^-^

[perezeitor]

:O impresionante eres un maestro

te has viciado mucho al FFVII no? ajaj

[lonlonjp]

sorry, i cannot understand your language.

it seems you are asking me more FFVII songs to upload?

[koporcic]

he said:

" :O impressive, you are a master (in guitar)

you are addicted to FFVII aren't you? "

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your help ^-^

Now i see =)

[Kenichi0083]

god fucking damn dude! you're awesome! makes me want to learn how to play that. Any tips? know where i can find the music sheet? or am i gonna have to do the impossible and learn it by ear? keep it up dude!

[lonlonjp]

i think a nice guitarist kindly made a guitar tab of this lonlonjp version. You may find it on website somewhere.

[7av9]

just lovely.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your lovely comment ^--^

it's a very beautiful day here in Japan =)

[chocolatethunder85]

Now when you're playing this, is it in normal tuning or do you have to change it up? It's kinda hard for me to tell. Either way, great playing as always!!!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks encouraging me^^

i added "more info" of this video as follows;

For those who would like to play this song on your guitar;

Capo = 0 Drop-D Tuning DADGBE

[lonlonjp]

[qohdiexs]

すげー上手いっすね。

思わず別の動画も全部見ちゃいましたよ。

[lonlonjp]

ご声援ありがとうございます☆

この曲は私自身のギター編曲によるものです

[Thendix]

I really think you should turn 'Song of Memories' from FF9 into one of your masterpieces, lonlon =) just replayed the game and when I heard it I thought 'I wish lonlon would play this' hehe you're the best!

cheers,

Thend

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your kind suggestion^^

i have listened to your requested song again and felt that playing it on solo guitar would be really lovely :)

cheers

lon

[Sk8erperson13]

Ahhh yes so relaxing, thanks for posting it lon! :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your nice comment^^

[Lorinand]

amazing job  =)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

[gagambeno]

I have a starter guitar but after an hour of play and hurting fingers I usually forget about it and stumble upon it a few months later again. I'm pretty sure its the method of my training, I have a book that came with my guitar set but it never teaches anything about finger picking, it downright starts at chords. Any suggestions? I would prefer info from the internet to books :( I can't do lessons right now.

[lonlonjp]

Take your time until your fingers become not hurt^^ if you love music, there is always a way to go =)

[manicfoot]

Sorry, I only just noticed the FAQ on your page to please disregard my first question =) Heh. My apologies sir!

[manicfoot]

I found it and really enjoyed it :) If you ever created an album I'd definately buy it. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos ^^

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for watching it and your subscribing^^ i will keep on making some more efforts to meet your expectation :)

cheers

lon

[manicfoot]

I love all of your renditions of FF7 music :) May I ask how long you have been playing for? Also, do you write any music? If so I'd love to hear it ^^

[lonlonjp]

thanks watching this video^^

i wrote some music... i have uploaded one of them on YouTube entitled as "lonlonjp plays his original guitar piece" please find it on my channel :)

[reepler]

lon, can you give a guitar lesson for this song? please

[lonlonjp]

haha.. i will think about it later^^

i am not good at tutorial ;)

[Ragingismyhobby]

one of my favorite songs from final fantasy..just had to youtube it after i dled a final fantasy soundtrack

very nice job

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

[DAORIGINALC65]

Dude that was BEAST.

[lonlonjp]

haha... thanks a lot^^

[KuroiTatsu70]

Hey there Ion-sama, long time no see ^_____^

I REALLY like all your arrangements, bet the top ones is FFVII and VIII and Mononoke :D

Are you interested of making a nice arrangement of Cait Sith's Theme (FFVII) and Golden Saucer theme aswell :D

Would be awesome, and even more to my favs :)

I'm a great admirer of your arrangements and do understand that it must take alot of precious time, but it would've been nice with the songs I suggested ^____^

Keep the good work up Ion-sama! Your the best!

[lonlonjp]

i am intersted in arranging Cait Sith's Theme^^

[reynoldswrap]

i might as well favorite all your videos!!!:) keep it comming:p

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to my videos^^
